MENA - Marokkaanse vakbonden wijzen wet af die het stakingsrecht beperkt
Moroccan unions reject strike-restricting law
25 July, 2019
Trade unions in Morocco have launched a campaign against a draft law that violates the constitutional right to strike in the country.
Unions are demanding the proposed legislation, which limits the right to strike, is withdrawn for adoption by the Moroccan parliament.
The draft regulatory law No. 15.97 was written without consultation or negotiation with trade unions, contravening fundamental International Labour Organization Conventions 87 and 98.
The right to strike is upheld in chapter 29 of the Moroccan constitution, but now the government is trying to restrict the conditions for striking in law for the first time.
Moroccan unions say the bill would turn a universal human right into an instrument of oppression, directed primarily at protestors and trade unionists. Unions are collecting signatures against the bill, and plan to mobilize.
The legislation is part of a growing attack on trade union rights and freedoms in the country. Trade unions have mounted numerous demonstrations, strikes and marches in protest at the widespread violations against trade unions and trade union leaders, which go unpunished by the government.
IndustriALL general secretary, Valter Sanches, said:
“IndustriALL Global Union urges the Government of Morocco to withdraw the draft law on the right to strike, which was written and submitted unilaterally to Parliament for adoption, and has not been the subject of tripartite discussions with partners.”
Unions are demanding that fundamental rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining are respected and that the Moroccan government commits to tripartite social dialogue.

ILO 2019: The situation of workers of the occupied Arab territories
De Internationale Arbeidsconferentie die dit jaar het 100-jarig bestaan van de ILO vierde, is afgesloten met een nieuwe verklaring over de ‘Toekomst van Werk’. Daarin hebben werknemers, werkgevers en regeringen, samen hun afspraken vastgelegd over fatsoenlijk werk in onze wereldeconomie.....
Een onderdeel
..... Meer paramilitair geweld in Colombia
De leiders van de vakbonden CUT en CTC uit Colombia uitten hun extreme zorg over het mislukken van het vredesproces in Colombia. Daardoor laait paramilitair geweld weer op. Ook nemen intimidatie van en geweld tegen leiders van maatschappelijke organisaties toe. Vakbondsleiders worden weer in toenemende mate vermoord. Met name in de plattelandsgebieden, het gaat dan om vakbondsleiders in de land- en tuinbouw en het onderwijs. .......
Met hierbij het jaarlijkse

Israel incites death threats against human rights defenders

Israeli government propaganda is inciting violent threats against human rights defenders.
On the Facebook page for the 4IL website visitors left comments calling for the killing of Shawan Jabarin, director of the Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq.
These included: “When do we put a bullet in the head?”, “Why do such people still breathe?” and “Why has he not been liquidated?”
4IL is a propaganda outlet of Israel’s strategic affairs ministry.
The ministry, headed by Gilad Erdan, leads Israel’s campaign of smear and sabotage against human rights groups and the global Palestine solidarity movement.
Al-Haq calls these comments “incitement and hate speech.”
The human rights group says the spasm of death threats came after 4IL published an article accusing Jabarin, a human rights defender who has won international recognition and awards, of “terrorism.”
The Israeli government published the article smearing Al-Haq after the organization held an event celebrating its 40th anniversary attended by academics, diplomats and officials, including from the UN and European Union.
“The attack is the latest in a large-scale campaign against Palestinian and other civil society organizations working to promote and protect the rule of law and human rights standards for the Palestinian people,” according to Al-Haq.
The international human rights network FIDH issued an alert last week condemning the smear campaign and death threats against Jabarin and calling on Israel “to immediately end any acts of harassment against him, Al-Haq and all the human rights defenders.”
Al-Haq has been a particular target of Israel because of the role it plays in compiling evidence of Israeli human rights crimes for the International Criminal Court.
Authorities in the Netherlands, where the court is based, have been investigating death threats targeting a lawyer working with Al-Haq.
The campaign of harassment against the lawyer is possibly the work of Israel’s strategic affairs ministry, according to a veteran Israeli reporter on intelligence.
A key goal of the smear campaign is to force governments to end their funding for human rights groups by associating them with “terrorism.”
Last month the EU said it was “aware of allegations” against Al-Haq but that screening of the organization’s representatives against UN and EU sanctions lists had not revealed any concerns.
On Wednesday, Amnesty International demanded that Israeli authorities “urgently investigate death threats targeting three civil society organizations, including Amnesty International’s Israeli section in Tel Aviv.”
The group said that anonymous death threats were sprayed outside the offices of Amnesty International Israel and ASSAF, an organization working with refugees and asylum-seekers.
Amnesty Israel posted on Facebook a photo of the Hebrew graffiti outside its office.
It states, the “wicked person will die for their sin” – a quote from the Bible.
A box containing death threats and a dead mouse was also left at the entrance to the Elifelet Children’s Activity Center for refugees.
Amnesty noted that in recent years, “the climate for human rights defenders in both Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories has rapidly deteriorated.”
“Israeli authorities have taken steps to unduly restrict the rights to freedom of expression and association inside Israel, with officials intimidating human rights defenders critical of the government and introducing legislation to silence dissent,” Amnesty added.
Like Al-Haq, Amnesty has been a target of official harassment and retaliation for documenting Israeli abuses.
